What Do YOU Scream For?

By Ricki Weaver

Crossdresser Ice Cream For me, it's Ice Cream! When Jimmy Buffet sings of "That frozen concoction that helps me hold on," I think not of Margaritaville but the smooth silky taste of Ben and Jerry's in my mouth. Or, better still, my own home made ice cream.

Ever since I was a kid, the benchmark dessert has been ice cream, sometimes with a cookie, sometimes with cake, or even straight up, if you have a good enough flavor to hold its' own.

A few years back my wife and I were given an ice cream maker as a wedding present. For me, it has been the most useful present of them all! I have tried several recipes but none as good as the one you see below.

I belong to a couples transgender support group and we have monthly meetings with a potluck dinner. Every month, when asked what they want me to bring, the answer is the same: Ice Cream!

Not just any old ice cream, mind you, but my very own recipe, and I call it "Cross Dresser Crunch!"

This is a type of ice cream that really does, as I said before, `hold its' own'. It is chock full of tasty stuff and just doesn't need extras like hot fudge or whipped cream. In snow skiing terms, this one's a double black diamond all the way!

If you don't already have an ice cream maker, I strongly recommend getting one, preferably one of those automatic machines that you just have to put the ingredients in and wait 20 minutes or so. I personally have a Krups 337. Another good item to get is "Ben and Jerry's homemade ice cream and dessert book", ISBN number G0-89480-312-3. It gives you many of the recipes that they have turned into gold.

Please note: The Transgender General has determined that eating this ice cream is hazardous to your figure. You have been warned.

So now, without further adieu, here is the magic formula:

Dramatis Personae:

  • One-quarter cup of white chocolate chips
  • One-quarter cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • One-quarter cup of peanut butter chips
  • One-quarter cup of chopped walnuts
  • One-quarter cup of pecans
  • One-quarter cup of semi-sweet M&M's
  • One-quarter cup of the ingredient Du Jour*
  • One cup Milk
  • Two large eggs (or one-half cup of an egg substitute if you are worried about cholesterol)
  • One cup sugar
  • One cup heavy cream
  • One teaspoon vanilla extract
  • One pinch salt
  • Four ounces unsweetened baking chocolate
  • *The "ingredient Du Jour" kind of sets the personality of the batch. I prefer Nestle's Buncha Cruncha, because it give the mix a satisfying crunch that no other ingredient seems to provide. Texture is much more important than most people realize! Other things to try are malted milk balls, chopped Flaky Flix or Kit Kat bars. Experiment!

    One.Combine the chocolate chips, nuts, M&M's, and the ingredient Du Jour in a bowl or a baggie and either refrigerate.

    TwoMelt the unsweetened chocolate in a pot. I use a medium low heat, but your mileage may vary. Watch this carefully, and stir constantly so as not to let the chocolate bubble and possibly burn. Once the chocolate is completely melted, whisk in the milk, a little at a time.

    Three.The milk will initially thicken the chocolate, so keep up the heat until it is smooth. Remove from the heat and let it cool . Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, maybe 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in the sugar, a little at a time, until completely blended. Add the cream, vanilla and salt and whisk to blend.

    FourPour the chocolate mixture into the cream mixture and blend. Cover and refrigerate until cold, at least 1 to 3 hours.

    Five.Transfer the cream mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze per the manufacturer's directions.


    Six.A few minutes before the ice cream is ready to be removed from the maker, put in the Chip/nut/candy mixture into the machine. If you mix this in too early, it will just drop to the bottom of the ice cream maker and stay there.

    Seven.Transfer the newly frozen ice cream to another vessel (I use a cool Whip Container) and continue freezing until ready.

    This should make about one quart, or two dress sizes. If my ice cream maker ever broke down, I would have to buy a new wardrobe!

    Enjoy!
